Hi fellow diabetics, does anyone out there have aches and pains in their legs and feeling tired all the time ? I am on insulin and this has been a recent problem as I have had no problems before and have been diabetic for 16 years .

To my mind, They sound like some regular signs of Diabetes... I don't know why you've not experienced them for the passed 16 years.

Let's see what the others say ...
 
Hi Andrews mum and welcome to the forum.

Have you had any new medication recently? Like Statins.

I have felt tired and lethargic for most of my diabetic life, but my control has not been good for a long time, so I put it down to that. Is your control good?

Hi Andrews Mum, sometimes poor control can cause things. But it also could be down to the weather we have had recently. But also down to other drugs. But make an app to see your GP or go see your pharmacy, or call your diabetes team.
